Prompted for authorization to play songs

I am constantly getting prompted to authorize computer when I play a song

Is that happening for any song you've purchased from the Store? Or just some songs off a particular album (and other songs on the album play fine)?

  • Prompted for authorization even though it's already authorized

    I just bought a new song in iTunes. Whenever I try to play it, I'm prompted to authorize my computer. When I authorize it, it tells me that my computer is already authorized. It does it again every time I try to play the song. It only happens for this song. Help?

    If you are in a country where re-downloading is possible (check this with iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match Availability by Country - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5085), delete the track (and the original file) and download again (Downloading [using iOS or computer] past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519).  See tips on downloading in https://discussions.apple.com/message/19097773, especially unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
    If you cannot download a second time, contact iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history or,

  • ITunes Asking for Authorization to Play Downloaded Song

    I am having a problem I've never had before.  iTunes won't play a song I downloaded 11.0.4 won't play a song I downloaded from the iTunes Store as part of an album.  It asks to authorize the computer to play the song.  When I enter my name and password, it says my computer is already authorized.  But then it wil not play the song!  I've tried the troubleshooting tips on the webpage (ie deleting my SC folder, etc) to no avail.  The "Info" section on the song, oddly, doesn't indicate that the song was downloaded from the iTunes store (the rest of the songs on the album list me as the downloader).  But I also can't re-download the song, because the store thinks I've already downloaded it.  The store offers me the opportunity to play the song, but then the same authorization problem happens. 
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Delete it and then redownload it.

  • ITunes asking for obsolete computer authorizations to play songs

    I had to buy a new computer recently and I transferred my iTunes library over to it.
    But now certain songs on my iTunes are asking me to authorize my computer with an old Apple ID name..a name/email address that doesn't exits anymore and hasn't been used in years.    How can I get these songs to play on my current iTunes with current Apple ID?

  • Prompt for Authorization Object

    Dear Experts,
    I would like to have control on certain authorization objects which are common among the roles while creating them.
    Is it possible that while maintaining or creating a role, if by mistake the administrator does not block the object OR add an entry which we do not authorize, the system should alert the administrator as a popup or alert message?
    I am aware about the report "RSUSR008_009_NEW" for maintaing critical authorizations, however, running a report and giving a prompt are two different things.
    Any possibility of an alert?
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi J K
    I take the following approach with SU24:
    Complete Proposal - completely maintain an authorisation proposal when that values applies for any situation in PFCG role build. E.g. transaction FB03 for object F_BKPF_BUK has fields ACTVT and BUKRS. You can allow the value as ACTVT = 03 and BURKS = $BUKRS (org value) or each scenario
    Partial Proposal - only maintain some of the fields where it will be consistent. E.g transaction OB52 for posting periods and S_TABU_DIS with field ACTVT and DIBERCLS. You leave ACTVT blank as sometimes you want change whilst DIBERCLS for auth group is static so you can enter a value there
    Empty Proposal - leave the proposal values completely blank as the requirement will depend on the scenario. E.g transaction SM30 you might leave S_TABU_DIS empty as it will depend on the role for both fields.
    If you take this approach, you minimise the need for deactivating object, copying/changing and manual objects in PFCG. You maximise role authorisation under status of Standard or Maintained.
    Now if we set the proposals in su24, it will be applicable for other new roles as well for which we DO want the proposals to exist.
    Yes if you change SU24 you should clean up all impacted roles but before you build roles you should review
    At the end of the day your need to have competent security administrators who know what a display activity is and have attention to detail/meticulous enough to build the role with appropriate restrictions (i.e. do not put change access in a display role).
    How can we avoid the "new authorizaiton objects" to be added to this display role.
    To avoid this you are trying to avoid using SU24 integration. If you are tying to build a SAP display all role then you might as well copy SAP_ALL and go through and deactivate/remove any display access from the role. In this case you would not use the role menu.
    Not all solutions are technical. It's why you need to have a clearly defined process that is adhered to.
    My trick of display roles - I got the AGR_1251 role and look at the entire contents of the role and scan this list of objects and what's in the role. However, I do this as I know the objects relatively well and can identify the specific objects that are change/display  but do not use ACTVT field (e.g. PLOG/P_ORGIN/P_PERNR)
    Wonder why SAP prompts warning and errors messages doing a business/financial transaction and not security.
    Exactly what would you want the system to prompt? How would SAP know what a display role is?
    We noted that every time we add a t-code, the authorization object added is marked as "new" in the list. we jsut disable those and generate it
    If you take this approach you cannot guarantee the transaction code will work. The user may need the underlying values and that is why SU24 has them marked as proposal.
    My summary - defined your process to include a quality check after building a role and hire security administrators who know more than how to tick and click buttons in PFCG (i.e. they understand security objects and why some are sensitive).
    Regards

  • Partial solution for iTunes not playing songs or playing partial songs

    Like a lot of other people, my iTunes (latest version 6.0.3.5 as well as previous versions), would refuse to play certain songs, or, would play only the first X seconds of a song.
    I had been thinking all along that the song was encoded correctly and now iTunes would not play it.
    Well it turns out that the iPod will not play it either, meaning that PLAYBACK was not the issue, but ENCODING.
    I have another computer on our home network...I encoded a CD with that computer (same version of iTunes), then transfered the files to the "broken" computer...with the newly encoded files from the other computer, the "broken" computer plays the songs perfectly.
    So anyway, the problem is with ENCODING, not PLAYBACK.
    Now I have to go back and re-encode about 30 CD's...the number of CD's I've encoded on the broken computer since the no-playback/partial-palyback issue first surfaced.
    We all still have a big problem here in figuring how to get the broken computers to encode correctly.
    Hope this helps.

    You might check and see what codecs are installed on your PC...

  • Authorization of itunes Song

    Hello everyone
    Here is my issue... At one point my itunes id was
    [email protected] I recently moved and changed ISP and updated my ITUNES ID to [email protected] after updating to Itunes 7 I can no longer play songs that were downloaded with the [email protected] account name.
    When i attempt to play a song downloaded with that account id, it prompts for authorization and the account id field is populated with [email protected] I use my current account id and it states successful, one computer authorized. however when i play the song it once again ask for authorization with the account id populated as [email protected]
    I have emailed itunes tech/cust support, but you know how that is.....
    any help would be appreciated

    For the songs that were purchased using the old account you need to put in the address for the old account (not the one you switched to) so that those songs can be authorized. They will always be associated with the old account. Once you authorize it using the old info you should not have to do it again.

  • Repeated requests for authorization after migration to 10.6

    Recently migrated from my old eMac to a new Mini running OS10.6.
    Itunes repeatedly asks for authorization on certain songs - those bought with an old AOL ID back in the day. I enter the ID and PW, then itunes tells me this ID has been changed to an Apple ID. I enter the Apple ID and PW and itunes tells me the computer is authorized. But the old songs still wont play - just repeats the problem over and over again.
    I've deauthorized all the IDs' and reauthorized - no luck.
    I've deleted the SC folder and reauthorized - no luck.
    Thanks for any ideas!

    I did contact support and got the same advice. However - I found the answer!
    When I would attempt to authorize by using my old AOL ID i would get an answer telling me that Apple had created an Apple ID for this old account and asking me to log in using this converted Apple ID account. I would do so, but would leave off the "@aol" ending in the Apple ID field (thinking that it wasn't neccessary since I wasn't logging into AOL). Turns out this is the key - the ID needs to have the complete ending.
    Once I authorized using an Apple ID of "[email protected]" with the correct password everything worked.
    Whew! Three days of screwing around on that one.
    Thanks for everyones suggestions!

  • Is It Possible To Only Play Songs from Specific Playlist?

    Is it possible for me to play songs only from the running playlist when I am running. It currently is playing songs from both playlists?
    Thanks

    Yes.   See this article for how to it manually.

  • My computer is authorized to play purchases but for one of the songs I recently purchased I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer to play the song. How do I fix this?

    I recently purchased a song on my iphone. When I synced my phone to my computer, I was prompted to authorize the computer to play the song, which I did. It did not compute and thus when I try to play the song in iTunes on my Macbook Pro, I keep getting prompted to authorize the computer. Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can fix it? I also cannot play the song now from my iPhone. I even tried re-downloading it from the iTunes store and that did not help.

    That suggests the track is damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copy of the track and try redownloading a fresh one. See the following document for instructions:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

    I downloaded album but one song will not play, repeatedly prompts to authorize computer. I did all four suggestions on help site for itunes, Nothing works. I have read several posts, but many have problems with old purchases and new computers. This is a purchase I made today. I have tried deleting the SC file, and made all changes suggested by iTunes web site and other suggestions. Anybody have any suggestions I may have missed?

  • I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which not longer exists and I don't know the password.  HOw can I get them authorized to my new email address and password?

    I cannot play some songs on itunes, I get a prompt for an old email address which no longer exists and I don't remember the password.  How can I get these tunes transferred to my new email address and password?

    In one of the help pages for managing your Apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/HE40), it shows two separate sections, one for Apple ID and one for Primary Email address. When I go to manage my Apple ID, I see only a single section for both. Can the two be 'separated', especially when you face the situation of having to discontinue your email address for some reason?
    I also noticed that when navigating to Apple ID Support Communities, it shows my nickname 'dishdy'. How and when did I insert this? In the current sequence for creating an Apple ID I don't see this. In my current profile I don't see this.
    In any case, I have freed myself from my previous Apple ID (@artemis.it) on my iPhone.
    Thanks for your help.

    Delete and redownload them if doing so is free in your country.

  • TS1389 What if I keep getting prompted to authorize my computer (only for 3 songs), but my computer is already authorized?

    I purchased a whole CD from iTunes and can play all but 3 songs.  I keep getting prompted to authorize my account to play these 3 songs.  But when I enter my apple ID and password, I get a message that says my computer is already authorized.  It keeps cycling around and won't let me play the 3 songs. Anyone else ever have this problem or find an answer?

    As Niel says...
    If the problem persists, or that facility is not yet available in your region, contact the iTunes Store support staff through the "Report a problem" links in your account history, or via Contact Support.
    You may also find it helpful while downloading to select Downloads in the left-hand column and make sure Allow Simultaneous Downloads is unticked.
